    I called the restaurant to let them know we were running a few min late (less than 15), but the phone was answered (twice) by a hotel front desk staff, who transferred me to the restaurant, but nobody picked up the phone there, so I naturally thought they were very busy. I was also not allowed to add another person to the reservation. We showed up and the place was EMPTY. The server told us that they were out of half of the menu (because they were switching to a new one). We asked for a couple of drinks, the server left to get them and never came back... It was our Mothers Day dinner...

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Margarita. We’re truly sorry to hear that your Mother’s Day dinner did not meet expectations, especially on such a special occasion. We apologize for the phone confusion and the difficulty in reaching our restaurant. We understand how frustrating it must have been not to be able to update your reservation or get timely service upon arrival. We also regret that our menu changes affected your dining options and that the server did not return promptly with your drinks. This is not the experience we want for our guests, and your feedback has been shared with our team to ensure improvements are made. We would appreciate the opportunity to make it right and hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future.

    Took us 10 minutes after sitting down to finally ask what drinks we wanted after a different waiter seen us sitting there. Small chocolate milk was 4$.We ordered the bag of donuts for our appetizer and never got them. The food took way too long for what we ordered. The coffee wasn’t hot, food was room temp. The service was terrible, I mean the wost service I’ve ever had anywhere and I’ve been to some bad places. McDonalds customer services is better. Waitress never asked to fill our drinks, didn’t take garbage or plates, and forgot about us when it was time to pay the bill. We had to get a waitress to check us out then she couldn’t do it for whatever reason so she had to go find our original waitress in the back doing god knows what, to come out and check us out. Spent about an hour of waisted unnecessary BS that wouldn’t happen at an Applebees. I was so upset and disappointed because I brought my mom here for Mother’s Day. Not only was I going to tip little because of the abysmal service, there was a gratuity charge of 18% already on the bill. I could find a 13 year old kid or a 25 year old man in his moms basemen that serves people better, the waiters didn’t have to work for their tip. Terrible experience, never coming here again. If you are desperate enough, good luck.

    Overall poor experience. Employees had their children at work with them, no option for bottled water, the entrees tasted like frozen and microwaved steak aside from taking very old and nothing was fresh. Would not recommend this restaurant.

    Waited almost an hour for 2 plates. Chicken tasted old and dried out. My boyfriend got the pasta with the boar and it made him sick to his stomach after. The pasta tasted chewy like it wasn’t cooked all the way. Mine was decent ish except for the chicken. Only got checked on once, server dropped bill off and didn’t come back. Waited 30 mins for him to come back but asked another server to cash us out. Waste of time and money

    We traveled upper New York State for over 8 days. We ranked the food and experiences we had …. including some very high level restaurants and all of us agreed this was the best food and dining experience we had. This is a diamond that many may overlook as it was not in the major area but close enough for us from The Red Coach Inn in Niagara Falls to drive. So thankful we did . Hunter sat us down outside by the river . Service was awesome as Hunter almost read our minds on extra napkins, extra plates, water etc The food was fabulous !!!!! We left there so thankful we drove out there and were t intimidated by the construction crews working in the hotel etc. and had stayed. Highly recommend you put this restaurant on your short list !!!

    This is a hotel restaurant, which it advertised by its views but arriving to the restaurant the atmosphere is cold amd the service is at best mediocre. Their dock is full of spiders and low lighting.
